At the end of a contract term, buyers of outsourced services have several options. They can renew the agreement and sign on for more of the same, renegotiate terms, seek a new partner via a re-bid or take services back in-house (or a combination of these options).

Given the pace of technology change and the ferocity of market competition, these choices are becoming increasing complex.

Standing pat and signing on for more of the same, ensures falling behind market leaders while an aggressive move to new technologies could prove to be disastrously wrong approach.

Avanti advisors work with our clients to analyze their current environment when nearing "end of contract" and assist in the complex analysis of future state options.
